Hey guys, it's Liv here.
Just been having a search of the web and came accross the National Geographic website which has some beautiful pictures and some interesting information about elephants (very stylish, I'm sure Barry will be impressed!).
Aparently both males (bull elephant) and females (cow elephant) have tusks that they use to strip trees of their bark and to dig with, but ivory is in high demand even though selling modern ivory is illegal in the UK. This has left the African elephant an endagered species. If you come accross what you believe to be Illegal ivory, please don't buy it and aid the killing spree, it will be a sad day when elephants become extinct.
Sorry to get so serious, back to some beautifulness, did you know that elephants can live for up to 70 years and can weigh up to 6,350kg?
This is a most interesting wesite and think you should check it out. Here is the link.

ReplyDeleteDoes Barry know any elephant friends, or facebook groups, or other Barries travelling the world once the ice cream disappeared? I love the idea that he's not alone...
